I read this and loved it. THE GRIT THE PASSION. I have always wanted to read a sunset revenge story that was complete you delivered!

The emotions you envoke in so few words were powerful.

The ending was poetic though I can not but help that given the way equestria works. Should I expect sunset to become a alicorn because of her ...passion?

I think both a sequal or snipit as investigate whom the assaulent is, would be marvelous even more so if. Cliche of cliches. Sunset comes back. Though with your evocative style. I can not help but think you would hit it out of the park. Either way. Awesome job! Thank you for such a great story!

Peace!

That was pretty good

Give me more

Oh.... I really want an epilog for this, from Celestia's POV.
One where she ask herself and reflects on how and why Sunset became as she did.

Did Celestia have any friends at all (before Luna's return)?

Thank you! That's actually a really good idea! I'll have to think about it because I was trying to keep it singularly in Sunset's perspective, complete with the glossing over details and lack of knowledge that we all go through in our own first person perspectives but I'll definitely consider it!

Personally I don't think she did, she may have had good acquaintances and such but my personal headcanon is that she was pretty lonely since she didnt want to get hurt again by having anypony close to her.

I'm glad you enjoyed it and at least sort of delivering a gritty and simple revenge fic!

Thanks, I tried to go very deep with first person perspective with this and I decided near the beginning that when a person gets that obsessed with something they tend to get tunnel vision (mentally at least) and long trains of thought or noticing details around you and stuff tend to get blurred out so I tried my best to kind of suck you in and hyper focus on the one thing to the exclusion of all else and thats why near the end the passion ramped up and irrelevant details kind of faded away.

I did toy around with the idea of having a series or something, like with Sunset coming out of Tartarus and doing some kind of serial killer terror campaign against Celestia but in the end I decided that with how obsessed and frankly insane she got that doing all that (while cool in my opinion) would be too much thinking and wasn't really who she was. In this story I decided that she would be so focused on getting her that she wouldnt get distracted by anything else and in the end thats why she made a mistake and ended up like she did in the last chapter.

Thanks again and I'm glad you enjoyed it! As much as I love long stories and would love to have a comeback and some epic showdown where she finally wins or something I did think the ending I currently have is very complete and poetic so I wouldn't expect it but who knows? maybe later down the line I'll change my mind but for now this is the complete ending.
